Hose End Feeder for applying Nematodes

This Hose End Feeder is ideal for applying Nemasys Nematodes.

The 'Miracle-Gro Hose End Feeder' has been tested and approved for applying the Nematodes listed below by Nematodes Direct and can also be used for applying liquid feed to plants and lawns.

It simply attaches via standard hose-pipe connector (not included) and features both a rose head and jet spray as well as an on / off switch for water flow.

Getting started with your Hose End Feeder:

1) Set the spray mode to "FLAT".

2) Set the application dial to "FEED & WATER"

3) Follow the process(es) below depending on the type of nematodes you will be applying.

Please note: The feeder bowl will contain the "clay filler material" and water, even after the nematodes have been applied. Simply wash this out on your lawn after you have applied the nematodes, as per the instructions below.

Nemaslug application instructions using a Hose-end Feeder (40sqm Pack):

Before starting, mark out the area to be treated - this will help ensure even coverage.

1. Add entire contents of the pack to the bowl of the feeder.
2. Fill the bowl with water, mix thoroughly until fully dispersed and attach the hose.
3. Set the Miracle-Gro® Feeder spray pattern to ‘flat’ and watering mode to ‘feed & water’.
4. With the feeder in an upright position, apply evenly to half of the area using a side-to-side motion. Application will take approximately 8 minutes under typical water pressure conditions.
5. During this time most of the nematodes will have been applied.
6. To make sure the nematodes are adequately watered in, treat the same area again for a further 8 minutes if treating a vegetable patch or 16 
   minutes if treating a lawn. Applications to lawns require more water to wash the nematodes through the grass thatch.

Adhering strictly to the application timings will ensure that any remaining colour in the bowl will be due to the inert carrier only and that you have performed an even application.
